Sugar oil fruit

Overview

Sugar oil fruit is also called swan egg. Named because of its similar shape, it is a famous Han snack in Chengdu, Sichuan and one of the three unique dishes of Qingshiqiao. It is characterized by bright yellow color, crispy outside and waxy inside, sweet and delicious. The sugar-oiled fruit was a snack I had when I visited Jinli in Chengdu last year. I didn’t expect that I would be able to make it now, and it was very delicious. The skin was crispy and the inside was chewy, and the caramel aroma was also very rich and sweet. It made you want to eat the next one after you finished frying it. After frying, I ate several in a row. It was so delicious!
